Javascript syntax checking within a JSP file not working

Question

Hi Guys,

I'm using eclipse 3.5 with WTP 3.0 to develop a web app using JSP and Javascript etc. Sometimes I need to embed Javascript code directly into a JSP file eg. to use a string out of the resource bundle message. My problem is, that I can not find a way to turn on Javascript syntax checking within a JSP file. Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks!

Looking at the JSDT wiki page, it appears that syntax checking and other features of the Javascript editor are not built into the JSP editor. I have the same complaint.

Note that not all the Javascript editor extension points are supported yet. I am assuming these extensions are necessary in order to integrate the Javascript editor features you want into the JSP editor.
